My girlfriend found this site, and i thought that i would ask to see if any other SV owners had similar problems or any ideas on how to resolve my SV problem.
My SV650sk1 has had problems for over a year where water would get into the front plug and it would drop to 1 cylinder (not fun in the middle of winter on the M27) i took it to the dealer a few times and eventually was told that the drain hole on that model was too small and blocked up easily. I was shown how to unblock it and went on my way.
A little while later the Bike started doing it again (dropping to 1 cylinder) but when it wasn't raining. Been taking it back to the dealer for over a month and still no joy. It doesn't do it when they ride it, but i think this is because they don't test ride in the mornings and they keep it inside overnight. I think that some part of it is getting condensation on it and causing this to happen. I was told by them that it could be carb icing but as it hasn't dropped below zero and i have ridden through 2 previous winters without any carb icing i doubt this is the case. I 've tried all sorts of things to try and get it sorted, even phoned Suzuki direct (they were as helpful as a chocolate fireguard though).
It's annoying as it seems like my SV is a bit of a white elephant, costs me money and doesn't work.
Any ideas
